Occult Herbalism Treatise "Magical Plants and Witchcraft": How to decode the natural history and scientific secrets of witches' herbs?

The patient researcher, the investigator who scrutinizes with interest the countless folds of documents relating to the history of science, inevitably unearths a series of facts, often more extraordinary than the last, concerning magical plants. Far from naive superstitions, the study of grimoires reveals that behind mystical rituals lies a very real botanical reality. With the work Magical Plants and Witchcraft, the scientist and scholar Emile Gilbert gathers in one group the summary history of the use of the main plants that were familiar to witchcraft, from the earliest times to the present day. This study manual has been designed to help you stabilize your energy flow by rationally understanding the powerful interactions between the plant kingdom and human consciousness.

These plants, used today in medicine and pharmacy, are studied here not only from a therapeutic point of view, but also from the point of view of the somehow marvelous effects that their high-dose use can provoke either in the mind or in the pathological state of individuals who would use them without discernment. By realizing the use for which they were intended and are still intended, it is recognized that the phenomena produced belong purely to the natural order. Through these captivating pages, you will discover that mystical visions and memorable sabbats are only due to the poisonous properties of these pharmaceutical drugs, which act when administered without dosage. This is why many incidents, due to similar practices, resulted in certain plants of the Solanaceae family being named: Witch's Herb, Devil's Herb, Magician's Herb.
